Bynes' doctors successfully argued to extend her original 72-hour psych hold another two weeks, saying they need more time to properly diagnose her and that releasing her would present a danger to herself and others, according to TMZ.

The judge agreed, so Bynes will stay put for at least another 14 days.

Her parents' bid for conservatorship was denied because of that extension. The judge decided she can't do much damage while she's in the hospital, and that he wants a meeting with the troubled actress to help make his decision, as well as a recommendation from her doctors and her court-appointed lawyer — who, by the way, has already filed for an emergency hearing to spring her from the hospital.

"If she is not pinned down to [the] bed she will run away," said pal Ana Rivera. "She is worse than Lindsay [Lohan] or Britney [Spears], no one can reach her. She's going to have to be there for months and she could even be institutionalized for the rest of her life."

Bynes' legal woes are far from over. She is due back in a New York courtroom on Sept. 26 to answer charges from her bong-tossing incident last May.
